A Living-Room  of  the  Most 
Attractive  Type 


IN  THIS  living-room  there  is  an  atmosphere  of  restfulness 
that  only  the  soft  buff  wall  in  combination  with  the  brown 
tone  of  the  woodwork  can  impart.  The  use  of  the  green 
and  lavender  in  furnishings  makes  the  room  modern,  as  these 
shades  are  favored  this  season  by  the  decorators  and  much  used 
in  the  new  fabrics.  The  combination  of  the  odd  pieces  of  furni- 
ture shows  that  just  as  attractive  results  can  be  s. cured  with 
inexpensive  furnishings  if  the  general  style  of  the  ’o cm  its  dec- 
oration, etc.,  are  kept  free  of  pretentious  display. 

The  charm  of  the  room  is  further  increased  as  the  walls 
are  finished  with  Flat-tone  which  gives  the  clean  flat  tint  to  the 
wall  and  forms  an  excellent  background  for  the  furnishings. 
The  effect  of  S-W  Handcraft  Stains  on  the  woodwork  of  the 
home  is  fully  shown  here.  The  stain  is  clear  and  transparent, 
bringing  out  the  grain  of  the  wood  and  retaining  its  woody  tex- 
ture. Any  number  of  surface  treatments  are  possible  over 
these  stains,  but  some  surface  finish  is  necessary.  Complete 
instructions  will  be  furnished  upon  request.

Plate  B — A Dining-Room  in  Green 

AN  I'M  II  E R of  conditions  will  allow  of  the  decorative 
effect  shown  In  this  green  dining-room,  and  the  gen- 
eral color  treatment  can  be  easily  duplicated  even 
though  the  attractive  wall  paneling  is  not  possible.  Wall  and 
plaster  board  as  well  as  ceiling  (matched  boarding)  is  being 
used  for  the  walls  of  the  home  over  which  paper,  but  more 
pleasingly,  canvas  can  be  applied.  The  Flat-tone  wall  finish 
is  possible  over  the  canvas  or  muslin  and  the  seams  of  the  bro- 
ken wall  surface  will  not  be  evident.  The  moulding  produc- 
ing the  panels  adds  to  the  general  character  and  can  be  used  as 
well  when  the  walls  are  finished  in  plaster.  By  keeping  wood- 
work and  furniture  in  the  same  shades  as  wall,  a novel  and 
unusual  treatment  is  secured.  The  strong  color  in  the  hang- 
ings and  pottery  is  quite  necessary  with  the  predominating 
green  tone.  The  floor  tone  must  be  neutral  to  avoid  a promi- 
nent second  color.  The  furniture  illustrated  is  inexpensive. 
It  can  be  purchased  in  the  white  and  stained  to  matchwood- 
work.

Plate  C — A Mission  Library 


I N THE  library  shown,  several  items  that  make  up  an  at- 
tractive and  livable  room,  are  clearly  defined  and  worthy 
of  consideration;  solid  comfort,  brought  about  through 
the  introduction  of  comfortable  chairs,  large  reading-table — 
well-lighted — and  inviting  fireplace,  suggestive  of  cheer;  then 
there  is  repose,  produced  through  simple,  but  well-planned 
architectural  features  such  as  large  windows,  giving  sufficient 
daylight,  and  good  ventilation — bookcases  conveniently  placed, 
high  wood  wainscoting  and  beam-ceiling  retaining  the  charac- 
ter of  the  room.  All  these  features  are  greatly  enhanced  by 
the  tasteful  wall  decoration.  The  rich,  but  restful  green  wall- 
finish  blended  from  the  wainscoting  line  to  the  moulding,  pro- 
duces an  atmosphere  of  refinement  and  comfort.  This  artis- 
tic wall-finish  (Flat-tone  System)  is  non-fading,  does  not  wear 
off,  and  can  be  frequently  washed.  It  is  easily  applied  to 
rough  or  smooth  plaster,  canvas,  etc.,  and  is  made  up  in  a vari- 
ety of  colors,  as  pleasing  as  the  green  shown.  The  border,  an 
additional  decorative  feature,  is  produced  by  means  of  the 
stencil  pattern,  and  increases  the  expense  but  slightly.

Plate  D — A Colonial  Living-Room 

AFTER  all,  the  bright,  cheerful  room,  with  the  good  old 
or  “good  new”  mahogany  furniture,  the  open  fireplace, 
J2  and  other  simple  and  unpretentious  furnishings,  as 
shown  in  the  Colonial  living-room,  are  the  most  inviting.  New 
furniture  can  now  be  purchased,  patterned  after  the  old  Colo- 
nial pieces,  which  are  at  the  present  time,  a rarity  on  the  mar- 
ket, so  that  much  of  the  newness  of  the  room  can  be  easily 
counteracted.  Ivory  wood  and  mahogany  furniture  in  the 
living-room  requires  a yellow  wall,  and  the  combination  of  yel- 
low, rich  red  and  the  light  ivory,  as  shown  by  the  Colonial  liv- 
ing-room, gives  an  excellent  idea  of  the  attractive  results  se- 
cured through  the  use  of  simple,  but  well-selected  finishes.  The 
wreath  and  torch  border  applied  in  one  color,  is  purely  Colo- 
nial. The  Flat-tone  System  Finish  of  the  lower  wall  repeating 
the  stencil  color,  harmonizes  with  the  ceiling  and  drop  tint  and 
introduces  just  enough  variation  to  make  the  room  refined  and 
restful  in  appearance,  although  the  wall-color  itself,  is  high 
keved .

Plate  E— Modern  Dining  - Room  in  Blue 
and  Early  English 

IN  PLANNING  a color-scheme  for  the  dining-room,  if  pos- 
sible, secure  an  individual  appearance  through  the  use  of 
the  wall  decoration.  Dining-room  furnishings  are  prac- 
tically standard,  so  that  your  room  may  almost  be  a duplicate 
of  your  neighbor's  unless  you  plan  carefully.  While  the  blue 
wall  is  not  always  the  most  happy  color  for  the  dining-room— 
for  some  shades  appear  cold  under  artificial  light — under  cer- 
t lin  conditions,  it  is  far  more  artistic  than  the  much  used  brown, 
butt  and  tan  that  are  always  combined  with  the  dark  heavy 
styles  of  furniture.  If  the  room  is  well  lighted,  a good  ceiling 
color  selected,  and  a pleasing  frieze  or  border  decoration  intro- 
duced, the  Mat-tone  System  Effect  Finish  in  blue  can  be  used 
with  just  as  attractive  results,  as  illustrated,  by  the  dining- 
room under  consideration.  A solid  blue  wall  is  avoided,  as  the 
System  Finish  can  be  so  applied  that  a light  tint  at  the  upper 
part  of  the  wall  can  blend  into  a deeper,  richer  tone  at  the 
lower.  The  hangings  in  the  dull  gold  and  the  warm  tints  in 
the  frieze,  counteract  the  effect  of  the  colder  wall  tint.

Plate  F — Modern  Hall  in  Flemish 

THIS  illustration  shows  a pleasing  arrangement  of  en- 
trance to  hall  and  stairway,  in  the  modern  home.  To 
avoid  a bare  effect,  where  little  furniture  was  to  be  used, 
and  the  dimensions  were  large,  a rather  low  toned  color-scheme 
was  decided  upon.  Flat-tone  Buff  Stone  and  Cocoanut  Brown, 
in  combination  with  the  rich  brown  tones  of  furniture,  wood 
and  furnishings,  produce  the  hospitable  and  inviting  atmos- 
phere that  is  so  necessary  in  the  hall. 

The  introduction  of  the  chair-rail,  making  a lower  wall- 
color  possible,  apparently  lowers  the  height  of  the  ceiling,  and 
increases  the  width  of  the  hall.  This  is  always  true  with  hori- 
zontal wall  divisions,  so  that  they  must  be  avoided  in  the  ex- 
tremely low-ceilinged  room. 

The  green  introduced  in  the  stencil,  repeats  the  general 
color-scheme  of  the  living-room  beyond,  and  thus  brings  about 
harmony. 

As  the  Flat-tone  wall-finishes  are  made  up  in  the  rich  dark 
tints,  as  well  as  the  light  dainty  shades — -suitable  for  chambers 
the  entire  home  can  be  decorated  along  sanitary  lines.  This 
material  is  an  oil-paint  and  therefore  is  not  affected  by  wash- 
ing.

Plate  G— Two  Kitchens  Equipped  and 
Decorated  in  a Modern  Way 

THERE  is  now,  no  excuse  for  working  in  a dingy,  unin- 
teresting kitchen,  for  bright,  cheerful  decoration  can 
be  obtained  even  in  the  old  room,  at  so  little  expense. 
True,  the  kitchen  above  all  things,  must  be  practical,  so  that 
finishes  which  are  readily  affected  by  steam  and  moisture,  are 
out  of  the  question.  The  two  kitchens  illustrated  show  the 
possibilities  of  simple,  but  well-chosen  color  treatments  that 
could  be  duplicated  without  much  labor  and  expense. 

Part  (1)  shows  an  Enameloid  finish  for  an  entire  wall, 
ceiling  and  woodwork.  This  material  dries  with  a gloss,  and 
can  be  kept  clean  with  the  least  labor.  Part  (2)  shows  the  use 
of  both  the  Enameloid  and  Flat-tone,  a dado  of  the  former, 
making  a kitchen  just  as  practical  as  the  first,  for  the  lower  wall 
receives  most  wear.  The  upper  wall  and  ceiling  in  the  Hat, 
produces  a room  that  will  meet  the  preference  of  the  housewife, 
who  is  averse  to  the  gloss  wall-tints.  The  stencil  above  the 
dado  line  is  not  necessary  in  the  kitchen,  but  is  attractive. 
Cabinets,  tables,  chairs,  etc.,  can  be  kept  clean  by  frequent 
coats  of  S-W  Family  Paint.

Plate  H— A Chamber  in  Wistaria, 
showing  a Private  Bath 


WITH  the  simple  but  tasteful  modern  enamel  furniture, 
the  wall  decoration  must  supply  the  dainty  effect  re- 
quired in  most  chambers.  The  importance  of  the 
wall-color  and  its  decoration  in  a room  is  clearly  shown  by  the 
illustration  where  the  Wistaria  border  plays  an  important  part 
in  the  general  appearance  of  the  room.  The  hangings  and 
rug  were  selected  to  harmonize  with  the  decoration,  and  both 
are  designed  with  the  Wistaria  pattern.  The  gray-blue  walls 
are  in  harmony  with  the  gray  woodwork  and  furniture  finish, 
but  offset  by  the  warm  rose  tint  of  the  Wistaria  border.  This 
scheme  is  excellent  for  the  sunny  room,  but  can  be  as  effec- 
tively used  in  the  north  chamber. 

The  Bath 

The  white  Flat-tone  wall  as  shown,  is  sanitary  in  surface, 
as  well  as  appearance,  and  attractive  with  the  touch  of  rose 
introduced  by  the  stencil  border,  thus  combining  chamber  and 
bath  schemes.  The  specifications  can  be  used  for  the  finishing 
of  a detached  bath.

Plate  I — The  Cottage  Chamber  in  Pink 

THE  cozy  window-seat,  simple,  but  tasteful  furnishings, 
and  neat  sanitary  finishes  on  wall,  woodwork  and  floor, 
make  this  cottage  chamber  charming  in  every  sense 
of  the  word.  The  general  decorative  effect  of  the  room  could 
be  easily  secured  in  any  chamber,  even  though  the  window- 
seat  recess  is  lacking.  A long  box,  very  useful  in  the  girls’ 
room,  could  be  built  under  the  window  or  windows,  and  cov- 
ered with  a figured  radium  cloth,  while  the  walls,  if  unfinished, 
can  be  decorated  with  the  Mat-tone  as  specified.  If  the  walls 
are  papered,  the  covering  can  be  easily  removed  before  paint- 
ing with  Flat-tone,  thus  securing  as  sanitary  a finish  as  is  pos- 
sible in  the  new  home.  The  application  of  this  wall-finish  is, 
however,  not  impractical,  directly  over  the  wall-paper,  if  it  has 
not  become  loosened  from  the  plaster.  Two  coats  of  Flat-tone 
are  usually  sufficient  to  produce  the  right  result  over  such  a 
surface,  while  three  coats  are  necessary  on  the  new  walls,  or 
those  freed  from  any  finish  or  covering.  The  pure  white  enamel 
can  be  used  over  new  or  old  wood,  while  Floorlac  Eight  Oak, 
can  be  substituted  for  the  Mar-not  Floor  Finish  specified,  if  the 
door  requires  refinishing,  and  is  not  in  good  condition.

Plate  J — The  Girls’  Room 


■ p 

«iv® 


THERE  is  a studied  carelessness  in  the  arrangement  and 
furnishings  of  the  chamber  illustrated  that  appeals. 
The  simplicity  of  the  wall-finish,  against  which  the 
figured  hangings  and  upholstered  chair  show  up  to  best 
advantage,  gives  the  room  added  charm.  The  feminine  touches 
arc  shown  in  the  waste-paper  basket,  covered  with  the  figured 
material  of  hangings,  in  cushion  for  wicker  stool,  light  shades, 
table  and  chiffonier  covers,  etc.,  that  are  all  easily  made  at 
little  expense.  Brighten  Up  Enamel  will  refinish  old  oak  fur- 
niture so  that  the  dainty  effect  of  the  room  can  be  maintained. 
The  application  of  a coat  of  S-W  Enamel  Ground  will  cover  up 
the  old  paint  and  produce  the  proper  foundation  for  the  enamel 
finish.  The  painted  furniture  is  excellent  with  the  enameled 
beds  as  well  as  up  to  date. 

The  various  shades  of  Flat-tone  do  not  fade  as  readily 
ynll  ''  around  the  pictures  as  wall-papers.  This  is  particularly  true  of 
the  warmer  tints,  such  as  yellows,  tans  and  browns.  The 
greatest  advantage  of  the  Flat-tone  finish  over  wall-paper, 
however,  is  the  fact  that  it  can  be  readily  cleaned  with  soap 
and  water,  and  is  therefore  in  every  way  sanitary.  You 
can  easily  remove  the  wall-paper  in  any  of  your  chambers 
and  finish  the  walls  with  Flat-tone. 

Our  decorators  will  prepare  other  color  - schemes  upon 
request.  Our  suggestions  include  not  only  definite  specifica- 
tions for  the  walls  and  ceilings,  but  also  the  woodwork,  floors 
and  furniture,  as  well  as  draperies,  rugs,  etc.

WHILL  many  consider  yellow  typical  of  Colonial  dec- 
oration, other  colors  are  just  as  appropriate  and  very 
often  more  effective  with  Colonial  furnishings.  This 
is  especially  true  when  the  living-room  is  carried  out  in  yellow, 
making  it  impractical  to  repeat  this  color  in  a prominent 
way,  when  decorating  the  chambers.  Gray,  blue,  pink  and 
some  shades  of  green  can  be  combined  with  furnishings  of  the 
Colonial.  A good  example  of  the  use  of  the  warm  gray  wall 
tones  with  furnishings  of  the  modern  Colonial  type  is  illustrated 
by  this  well-designed  chamber.  The  Flat-tone  wall-finish 
Lichen  Gray  has  just  the  quality  to  give  character  to  the  room, 
and  to  offset  the  richness  of  furniture,  and  dainty  effects  of  the 
hangings.  A stencil  border  is  easily  applied  to  the  light 
ground  color,  and  as  the  stencil  colors,  like  the  wall-finish,  are 
ground  in  oil,  the  whole  surface  can  be  washed  at  house-clean- 
ing time,  and  the  room  kept  clean  and  sweet. 

I he  white  enamel  wood  finish  is  typical  of  Colonial,  and 
as  the  enamel  produces  just  as  good  results  on  the  inexpensive 
woods,  such  as  Pine,  Cypress,  etc.,  these  can  be  selected  for  the 
chamber  trim,  thus  saving  on  this  particular  item  and  making 
it  possible  to  carrv  out  some  cherished  ideal  that  would  other- 
wise be  impossible.  This  plan  was  followed  in  the  chamber 
shown,  and  the  attractive  lighting  fixtures,  which  are  about 
S2.50  each,  introduced.

Plate  L — A Picturesque  Home 
Attractively  Painted 

THE  simple  combination  of  white  and  green  is  ingen- 
iously used  on  this  home  to  add  to  the  charm  and  dig- 
nity of  the  construction.  The  selection  of  the  n ain 
color  or  body  tint  is  determined  by  a number  of  items:  The 
style  of  the  home,  the  natural  surroundings,  the  color  combina- 
tion of  the  adjacent  buildings,  and  also  the  preference  of  the 
owner.  With  the  white  body,  green  is  attractive  for  the  trim 
and  roof,  but,  as  an  endless  variety  of  good  color  combinations 
can  be  worked  out  with  the  many  shades  of  SWP,  individual 
treatments  for  the  different  types  of  homes  can  easily  be  se- 
cured. If  you  are  in  doubt  regarding  the  best  combination  to 
employ  on  your  home,  our  Decorative  Department  will  be  glad 
to  heli>  you  select  the  most  appropriate,  suitable  scheme.

ffi#  Plate  M — An  Attractive  Home  for 


T 


City  or  Country 


(HE  “Back  to  the  Soil''  movement  has  revived  the  simple 
type  of  home,  and  allowed  the  architect  to  depart  from 
the  usual  set  style  of  construction  containing  eight 
rooms  and  hath.  The  house  illustrated  is  developed  from  the 
Colonial,  anil  similar  in  many  respects  to  the  well-kept  farm- 
houses that  are  found  here  and  there  in  country  and  suburbs. 
There  is  much  that  is  commendable  about  the  home.  It  has  a 
substantial  dignified  appearance,  though  siding,  wood  shin- 
gles and  simple  type  of  trim  have  been  used,  all  less  expensive 
than  other  materials  such  as  brick,  cement,  etc.,  that  are  em- 
ployed for  construction.  The  light  body  with  stained  roof 
and  green  shutters  is  not  only  appropriate,  but  practical.  In 
finishing  roof  shingles,  the  right  color  is  necessary  and  the  shin- 
gle must  be  protected  from  wear.  Sherwin-Williams  Preserv- 
ative Shingle  Stain  makes  such  results  possible,  as  the  material 
is  made  up  in  many  colors  and  penetrates  the  pores  of  the 
wood,  sealing  the  same  against  the  action  of  the  weather.

WIT  H a deep  porch  across  the  front  of  the  house,  it  is 
best  to  select  a light  color  for  the  body.  Fortunately 
many  of  the  light  colors  of  SWP  combine  attractively 
with  many  ol  the  darker  shades,  making  it  possible  to  give  any 
large  home  a substantial  appearance.  'This  is  shown  by  the 
illustration  where  the  Quaker  Drab  is  combined  with  the  Wil- 
low Green.  I he  light  body  color  would  appear  weak  on  this 
style  of  home  unless  combined  with  a strong  trim-tint.  A num- 
ber of  other  combinations  as  pleasing  as  the  one  shown  can  be 
made  with  SW  P Colors.  S-W  Handcraft  Stains  when  fin- 
ished with  varnishes  prepared  for  exterior  surfaces,  such  as 
S-W  Kopal  and  S-W  Durable  Wood  Finish,  Exterior,  can  be 
used  to  stain  the  exterior  doors,  keeping  exterior  and  interior 
in  harmony.

Plate  O — The  Two-Story  Cottage 

A PRACTICAL  color  combination  is  obtained  by  the 
selection  of  the  right  materials  and  by  the  proper 
arrangement  of  colors.  You  will  never  find  it  as 
satisfactory  to  paint  the  home  as  when  it  is  new.  Special 
attention  should  therefore  be  given  to  the  kinds  of  materials 
used  for  the  first  work.  The  right  kind  of  primers  are  essen- 
tial, the  paint  must  be  applied  at  the  proper  time  and  under 
proper  conditions. 

The  simple,  but  pleasing  color  combination  shown  on  the 
two-story  cottage  is  practical,  as  the  stains  and  paints  were 
used  in  the  right  way.  Satisfactory  results  were  secured  by 
following  the  suggestions  offered  by  our  Decorative  Depart- 
ment, and  other  home-builders  are  at  liberty  to  use  this

PLATE  S.  Up-keep  Finishes  for  the  Interior 

©De 

J)ECORA.TTVE  DEPAI^TCNT 
6C1  CANAL  ROAD  CIEVELAND.O. 


Plate  S — Up-keep  Finishes  for  the 
Interior 

Water-Tank  and  Pipes — The  water- tank  and  pipes  in 
the  home  can  be  kept  free  from  rust,  and  leakage  prevented 
by  coating  each  season  with  S-\Y  Brighten  Up  Aluminum 
Paint.  If  rust  has  gathered,  remove  and  apply  a coat  of 
S-\Y  Galvanized  Iron  Primer  before  the  Aluminum  coat  is  used. 

Mahogany  Table — An  old  table  can  be  finished  with  one 
coat  of  S-\Y  Brighten  Up  Stain  Mahogany.  Light  Oak  can 
be  easily  changed  to  Mahogany.  Apply  the  material  with 
a stiff  brush  to  suggest  the  grain.  A very  old  dark  surface 
requires  an  under-coating  of  the  Brighten  Up  Ground.  Other 
wood  shades  can  be  obtained. 

Screen  Door — Keep  the  screen  door  in  good  condition 
and  protect  it  from  decay  by  using  one  ccat  of  S-W  Brighten 
Up  Screen  Enamel;  black  for  the  wire  filling  which  will  prevent 
rust,  and  green  for  the  frame  itself.  If  the  old  paint  or  var- 
nish on  the  frame  has  blistered,  remove  before  applying  the 
green  coat. 

Writing-Desk — Pieces  of  furniture  such  as  a writing-desk, 
table,  chairs,  etc.,  can  be  refinished  to  match  the  white  enamel 
woodwork  by  painting  with  S-\Y  Brighten  Up  Enamel  Pure 
White.  As  the  Enamel  covers  well,  two-coat  work  at  the  most 
will  be  sufficient,  on  even  a very  dark  surface.  Remove  all 
grease  and  sand  lightly.  Apply  a coat  of  S-W  Enamel  Ground, 
producing  a proper  foundation  for  S-W  Enamel  Pure  White. 
This  should  be  flowed  on  evenly.  If  a trifle  too  heavy,  thin 
with  pure  spirits  turpentine. 

Picture-Frames — You  can  easily  renew  the  tarnished 
picture-frame  by  applying  a coat  of  S-W  Brighten  Up  Im- 
perial Gold  Enamel.  Scrape  off  all  loose  paint  and  apply 
with  a good  stiff  brush  in  order  to  get  dow'n  into  the  carving 
of  the  frame. 

Refrigerator — Keep  the  refrigerator  neat  and  practical 
when  the  finish  becomes  shabby,  as  it  will  through  constant 
use,  by  painting  each  season  with  a coat  of  S-W  Brighten  Up 
Family  Paint.  The  material  is  ready  for  application  and 
should  be  applied  writh  a bristle-brush.  S-W  Family  Paint, 
Buff,  is  so  near  the  original  color  of  most  refrigerators  that 
one  coat  will  give  good  results,  although  two  coats  will  give 
an  excellent  finish.  Allow  sufficient  time  between  coats  for 
thorough  drying.

Plate  T—  Up-keep  Finishes  for  Exterior 

Surfaces 

Wheelbarrow — As  the  wheelbarrow  is  in  constant  use, 
paint  frequently  with  a coat  of  S-W  Wagon  and  Implement 
Paint  to  prevent  decay.  Touch  up  worn  spots  and  apply 
a coat  of  the  material  as  it  comes  from  the  can. 

Clothes- Reel — The  clothes-reel  looks  neat  and  attractive. 
It  was  made  so  with  a coat  of  SWP,  the  red  and  light  yellow 
giving  a good  combination.  As  the  clothes-reel  is  not  fin- 
ished to  stand  much  weathering,  it  will  be  best  to  apply  one 
coat  of  SWP  each  season.  Two  coats  will  be  necessary  over 
a badly  worn  surface. 

The  Carriage — When  the  paint  on  the  carriage  blisters, 
refinish  with  S-W  Buggy  Paint.  The  surface  should  be  free 
from  grease  and  old  finishes  lightly  sanded  to  remove  blisters. 
The  paint  which  is  ready  for  application  should  be  flowed  on 
with  a soft  bristle-brush.  The  combination  in  red  and  green 
is  serviceable  as  well  as  attractive. 

Porch  Floor — The  porch  floor  can  be  kept  in  good  con- 
dition with  a frequent  coat  of  S-W  Porch  and  Deck  Paint. 
We  all  know  how  difficult  it  is  to  keep  a porch  looking 
clean  if  the  finish  is  old.  The  paint  is  easily  applied,  is  durable, 
will  not  show  wear  readily,  and  will  withstand  much  moisture 
as  well  as  heat.  Two  coats  are  satisfactory  for  old  work. 

Iron  Fence — The  iron  fence  is  an  expensive  addition  to 
the  home,  and  should,  therefore,  be  well  preserved.  S-W 
Metalastic  Black  will  improve  the  looks  of  the  fence  greatly 
as  well  as  keep  the  same  free  from  rust.  Two  coats  are  adv  ised, 
three  are  better. 

Lawn  Swing — After  the  lawn  swing  has  been  allowed  to 
remain  outdoors  all  Summer,  it  should  be  painted  before 
another  season  comes  around.  If  one  coat  of  S-W  Porch 
and  Lawn  Furniture  Enamel  is  applied,  the  lumber  will  be 
preserved  from  decay  and  the  swing  kept  in  good  condition. 
Green  is  a practical  color. 

The  Hose-Reel — The  hose-reel  is  exposed  to  severe 
wear,  but  can  be  kept  in  good  condition  with  a coat  of  S-W 
Buggy  Paint,  Cart  Red.  The  paint  should  be  applied, 
thinning  with  pure  spirits  turpentine  if  necessary.  The 
wheels  and  iron  frame  can  be  finished  with  a coat  of  S-W 
Metalastic  Black.

Plate  U — The  All-Shingled  Cottage 

THE  cottage  type  of  home,  when  pleasingly  surrounded 
with  foliage,  can  be  carried  out  in  a simple  color- 
scheme,  and  often  one  tint  for  body,  roof  and  trim  will 
giv  e good  results.  This  is  especially  true  with  the  all-shingled 
house,  and  when  a light  gray  stain  is  employed,  an  exception- 
ally artistic  effect  is  secured.  The  stain  gives  the  necessary 
dressing  to  the  surface,  prolonging  the  life  of  the  shingle  greatly. 
S-YV  Preservative  Shingle  Stains  are  made  up  in  good  light  col- 
or-, as  well  as  the  rich  heavy  tints,  and,  as  they  are  non-fading, 
there  is  no  possibility  of  the  color-scheme  becoming  weak  A 
bright  appearance  is  shown  by  the  house  illustrated,  inasmuch 
as  the  green  has  been  introduced  on  the  shutters  and  the  white 
on  the  sash.  Gray  always  takes  on  the  hue  of  the  bright  col- 
ors, with  which  it  may  be  combined,  so  that  the  reds,  warm  yel- 
lows and  greens  should  be  introduced  in  the  landscape.
